Unidentified assailants hurled a hand grenade at the house of Yemen's Information Minister Ali al-Amrani in Sanaa, injuring one person when they opened fire as they fled the scene, the minister's office said on Sunday. 

Abdel-Basset al-Qaedi, a member of the minister's staff, said two men on a motorcycle threw the grenade at a wing of the building housing the minister's bodyguards late on Saturday, causing no casualties.

A bystander was injured in the foot during a shoot-out as the men escaped, he added.
